Angular, side-swept bangs are best for your face type as they create an illusion of length and add dimension by slimming your face and accentuating the cheekbones.

If you have a long face structure, you can sport big, choppy bangs that would instantly cut the length of your face or you can also opt for long, side-swept bangs. Avoid short bangs that end above the brows.

Oval Face

This is face shape is ideal for any kind of bangs. If you have an oval face structure, you can experiment as much as you want to. You can go for short, choppy bangs, long side-swept bangs, or blunt, heavy bangs. Basically, you can rock any style with bangs.
